Chapter 27: The Stars

To be honest, Feng Ruo had regretted it a little since the deacon disciple recognized the broken bones of the four bodies, he really didn't expect that those inconspicuous-looking bones in that cave would have such a big background!

But it's useless to regret it, he urgently needs the lower grade Five Elements Stone now, these things must be sold, and fortunately, he is now in the right hall of the deacon of Zhentian Sect, everything is still safe, otherwise, if he is in the market outside, he really takes out these powerful beast bones that are comparable to those of a cultivator in the middle and late stages of foundation building, wouldn't it be possible?

"It's easy to say, junior brother, please rest assured, these bones are better in quality than the dark night purple civet, especially the tailbone of the seventh-level scorpion king, which is even more valuable, but unfortunately they are all a little damaged, and it is not the whole corpse, otherwise, any one of them can be worth hundreds of low-grade five-element stones, oh, by the way, junior brother, do you still have such bones in your hands?" At this time, after Feng Ruo's reminder, the deacon disciple came to his senses and immediately said with great enthusiasm.

"Senior brother said with a smile, these bones were stolen by me at the risk of losing my life, where will there be more!"

Feng Ruo said with some displeasure.

"Hehe! yes, yes, it makes sense!" the deacon disciple smiled a little awkwardly, and then carefully examined the four skeletons.

"Senior brother, what do you think of this? This flying spirit fox, night owl, and Gu Xi are all sixth-level spirit beasts, due to the good quality, according to the market price, they are about four to five lower-grade five-element stones, but because this sect has always taken care of the disciples in the door, so this price will be raised a little more, if the junior brother agrees, even the previous dark night purple fox is counted, each skeleton is calculated according to five lower-grade five-element stones, as for the tailbone of the seventh-level scorpion king, this, the value is not easy to say, if the junior brother is not in a hurry, I want to take it back to the master of this academy to appraise, of course, if the junior brother does not agree, I can first give the price of fifty lower-grade five-element stones!”

The deacon disciple said a little nervously, and now some deacon disciples on other platforms nearby have begun to pay attention, although there are rules in the right hall of the deacon that do not raise the price, but these bones are really precious, and the most important thing is that the tail bone of the seventh-level scorpion king can just be used to refine the five-grade sword weapon, you must know that the spirit beasts that can be called alien beasts all have one or two kinds of natural powers, and the sword weapons refined with their bones will automatically come with this kind of natural powers, although the power is less than one percent, but it is also a lot of help。

"Fifty?" Feng Ruo couldn't help but be taken aback again this time, this price was sky-high for him, to be honest, he didn't pay attention to that black bone from the beginning, but who knew it was so valuable!

"Okay! just according to what Senior Brother said!" Feng Ruo did not regret it, nor did he bother with raising the price, for him, it was enough for these bones to be sold for a price beyond his expectations, and he was not a real businessman, if he was careful about these things, he would fall behind, not to mention that there were many bones like this in his hands!

At that moment, both the buyer and the seller were very happy, and after Feng Ruo put away the seventy lower-grade Five Elements Stones, he asked a little casually: "May I ask Senior Brother, what are the uses of these bones?"

"There are many uses for this, and different spirit beasts will have different effects!" Maybe it was because he made a lot of money, and the deacon disciple was also in a good mood, and he introduced Feng Ruo endlessly: " Generally speaking, refining weapons, talismans, alchemy, and even formations can be used, and there are hundreds of millions of spiritual objects in this immortal cultivation world, each spiritual object has its own unique role, just like the vast starry sky, even if you are poor for a lifetime, you may not be able to explore the tip of the iceberg, even those predecessors, may not be able to cover everything, if you want to understand these, the best way is to systematically practice the three auxiliary immortal cultivation techniques of refining, talisman making and alchemy, otherwise, even if I explain it to you now, you may not be able to understand!”

"Cultivating refining tools, talismans and alchemy?" Feng Ruo was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile, where did he have the time to practice these three auxiliary immortal cultivation techniques that claimed to encompass all things in heaven and earth at the same time? If that was the case, how could he cultivate? This Heavenly Dao is slim, I'm afraid that even if he can live for 10,000 years, he may not be able to truly gain into the future, but this is the law between heaven and earth, if there is a gain, there will be a loss, if when he can not be bound by this rule, it will probably not be far from the so-called Heavenly Dao!

Thinking like this, Feng Ruo had a little more understanding in his heart, and after thanking the deacon disciple, he turned around and went to the other side.

If he wanted to rebuild that courtyard now, he couldn't just cut down a few hundred trees and fool around like before, and if he wanted to maximize the effect of the positive and negative nine-star formations, he had to not be sloppy in every detail.

Of course, if Feng Ruo now had sixty-four lower-grade five-element stones in his hand, all of which were earth-genus surnames, he wouldn't have to be so troublesome, because it was even more difficult for lower-grade five-element stones to make up for the same surname, so he had to use the chaotic family name to settle it.

Feng Ruo first bought a sufficient amount of bluestone, which was used to build the wall, but this bluestone is not the ordinary bluestone in the mortal world, but is mined from the bluestone mine that is full of spiritual energy, and there are faint spiritual energy fluctuations in it, which is usually used by cultivators to build courtyards, like the long bluestone steps of Zhentian Sect from top to bottom, all of which are built with this kind of bluestone!

And mining these bluestones is also a means for low-level disciples to mix and eat, after all, not all beginner cultivators have the courage to hunt spirit beasts, so there are many people who go to mine bluestone to earn the Five Elements Stone, if you can occasionally mine better quality green jade, you will naturally make a small profit!

Therefore, in many cases, those cultivators who specialize in mining all kinds of stone mines are even more nourishing than those who go out to hunt spirit beasts.

In addition to buying a large number of bluestones, Feng Ruo also bought sixty-four pieces of green jade, white jade, and black jade, although these are all the lowest grade, but it also cost him five lower-grade five-element stones, which made him feel pain for a while, but there is no way, the more advanced the formation, the more sensitive it is to the surrounding heaven and earth vitality, if you don't arrange it carefully, the overall power will drop significantly.

After buying all the materials he needed, Feng Ruo didn't dare to wander around, because the items here were simply dazzling, he just turned around for a while, and found more than a dozen immortal cultivation items that made him excited, but the price was really crazy and terrifying, so for the sake of peace of mind, it was better for him to leave early!

All the way back to Kenshin Courtyard, it was already completely dark, but Feng Ruo didn't care about this, and began to clean up the abandoned courtyard.

Speaking of which, the location of this courtyard is really strange, there is the mountain wind whistling in the white day, and the snow is fluttering, but I can't see anything, but at night, this place is calm and calm, and the heavens and the earth are safe! Looking up, you can see the stars in the sky, the vastness, which can make people's hearts feel comfortable!

"It seems that the original owner is very good at enjoying it! It is also a beautiful thing in life to be able to drink wine as a song in such a night!"

Feng Ruo sighed as he cleaned up the ruins of the bluestone walls buried by ice and snow, but he was a little curious in his heart, not understanding why such a good courtyard could be abandoned for hundreds of years.

And just after Feng Ruo was about to clean up all the broken walls, he suddenly felt that a cold wind suddenly blew behind his neck, this cold wind was not the biting cold of the mountain wind, but cloudy, like a ghost drilled out of the deepest part of the ground, making people unconsciously get goosebumps.

"Qiang"

Almost at the same time, Feng Ruo pulled out the Thunder Sword Weapon and slashed behind him like lightning, but what made him feel something was wrong was that there was no one behind him at all!

"Could it be a wild ghost in a deserted house?"

Feng Ruo immediately had this thought in his head, but then he shook his head a little funny, for cultivators, the so-called ghosts in the mortal world do not not exist, but there is no need to make a fuss, because they can all be classified as evil demons, and they must be killed by decent cultivators, like the deacon in the left hall, there are quite a few tasks to kill demons.

"It seems that the reason why this place is abandoned is not without reason!" Looking up and looking around a few times, Feng Ruo casually put the Ben Thunder Sword on his back, and continued to clean up the courtyard, he didn't care what demonic things were occupied here, as long as he completed the arrangement of the positive and negative nine-star formations, unless it was the kind of monster whose strength had reached the middle stage of foundation building, it would not be able to break it at all, but if there was really such a strong demon on this Heavenly Peak, it would be impossible to avoid the mountain patrol disciples of Zhentian Sect.

However, what Feng Ruo didn't know was that thousands of zhang away, a white light was watching him, and when he saw him, he continued to clean up the courtyard non-stop, and then quietly disappeared.

With the passage of time, Feng Ruo soon built bluestone on the basis of the original wall, because these bluestones are cut square, so it is very easy to deal with, the only trouble is that you need to survey the surrounding heaven and earth vitality changes and the overall environment, and then put the three kinds of jade in the corresponding position, this is the most basic formation technique, using the aura between those bluestones and the three kinds of jade, so that these bluestones completely form a whole, but this is much stronger than the city walls built by various methods in the mortal world。

Of course, this is only the foundation, Feng Ruo still has to arrange the positive and negative nine-star formations on this, so that the best defensive effect can be achieved.

"Huh?"

Just as Feng Ruo was about to start arranging the positive and negative nine-star formations, he suddenly found that the direction that he had already surveyed in the bluestone wall had actually fluctuated greatly, and the surrounding heaven and earth vitality had also undergone a subtle change.

"That's not right! I have clearly surveyed it!" Feng Ruo's brows furrowed slightly, although he was not very clever in terms of formation, but this kind of qi induction would not be wrong, but how could all this be explained now? If you continue to arrange the positive and negative nine-star formations according to this wrong direction, the power will definitely be greatly reduced, and maybe you will lose a few low-grade Five Element Stones!

After going around the entire courtyard again, Feng Ruo didn't find anything suspicious, so he had no choice but to tear down the entire bluestone wall again, and then repeatedly determine the direction of the flow of heaven and earth vitality and rearrange it.

However, when Feng Ruo finished building the entire wall again, he was surprised to find that the direction he had arranged before was wrong again!

"Oops! There must be something quirky about this place!"

Feng Ruo was the first to think of this, but this time he didn't tear down the bluestone wall again, because if the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in this place was controlled by something or for some reason, it would be useless for him to change it no matter how many times, and even if he forcibly completed the arrangement of the positive and negative nine-star formations, it would not work, maybe it would be offset by this strange change.

"What's the problem?"

Feng Ruo felt a little foggy for the first time, you must know that since he learned to carve the formation by mind, he is already familiar with the depiction formation, even if it is the kind of positive and negative nine-star formation that he has never arranged, he doesn't think there is any difficulty, but the various things he encountered tonight made him fall into the clouds, and he couldn't find a clue at all.

But the more this happened, the more he wanted to find out!

Unconsciously, Feng Ruo thought hard for most of the night, seeing that the dawn was coming, and the night was about to pass, but he still didn't gain anything, this frustration was even worse than being beaten up!

"Damn, what the hell is going on?" Feng Ruo rubbed his head and muttered to himself in pain, because it stands to reason that the upper and lower levels of this Heavenly Peak are shrouded by the formation at the top of that peak, and that is the center of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi within a radius of thousands of miles, within this range, all the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi should be controlled by that huge formation, but why can this small mountain cliff actually go beyond this rule, could it be said that there is an even more powerful formation arranged here?

Thinking of this, Feng Ruo couldn't help but look back at the peak of the towering Heavenly Peak, and at this time he realized that the long night was almost over, and even the stars in the night sky were much thinner!

"Huh, I see! It's the stars!"

Suddenly, a spiritual light flashed in Feng Ruo's mind, no wonder he had felt strange before, obviously in other places of Jietian Peak, the mountain wind was whistling at night, and the snow was fluttering, but here was the sky full of stars, it turned out that the problem was here!

This must be some kind of powerful formation laid out by the original owner of this courtyard with great supernatural powers, and then it became a self-unifying within the vicinity of this mountain cliff, not only could it not be detected by itself, but the terrifying formation that connected to the top of the Heavenly Peak could not be controlled, and it was precisely because of this that the direction he had surveyed before would repeatedly make mistakes!

Thinking of this, Feng Ruo was not only depressed, but became more and more excited, because since this courtyard was related to the stars in the sky, he might not have a chance to find the key to it!
